This weekend (Friday and Saturday) we will have memorial services for my friend, brother in Christ, and fellow laborer in the gospel of grace, Lou Castiello. Anyone familiar with our ministry at Shorewood for the past four decades will be familiar with Lou. He unexpectedly went to be with the Lord while on vacation with his family. Although Lou was a successful businessman, his most memorable quality was his love for his Lord and his family. Mary and "the girls" were the joy of his life--they transformed his life, just as he did theirs. I (and many others) was along for that journey, and will ever be grateful for that ride. Do remember Mary, Sarah, Rachel and Rebecca as they adjust to the "empty seat" at their family table. Together, we rejoice in "the hope of glory" that is ours through our Lord Jesus Christ.
